N-[(1S,2R,3E)-2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)-3-heptadecen-1-yl-d7]-tetracosanamide

C24 Ceramide-?D7 is used in the high-throughput LC-MS/MS assay for routine measurement of molecular ceramides

C24 Ceramide plays a vital role in inducing cell death. Altered levels of C24 ceramide might be a potential indication in tumor monitoring. Determining the levels of the ceramides (Cer) d18:1/16:0, Cer d18:1/18:0, Cer d18:1/24:0, and Cer d18:1/24:1 and ratios in human plasma helps to predict fatal outcome of coronary artery disease. The stable isotope form of C24 Ceramide (d18:1/24:0) is convenient for a newly described validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry methodology for their clinical-scaled measurement.
